Extreme Gig Work [Infinite]

Baijing is an intern nurse at a psychiatric hospital. He works diligently every day, just so he can become a full-time employee and get social insurance and a housing fund.

It's just that lately, the patients seem a little strange. They've started acting up...

Faced with unruly patients, Baijing can only patiently talk them around.

"Be good and take your medicine, or you'll be locked in the dark room."

"It's not time to get up yet. Lie quietly in bed, okay?"

"Honestly, I've told you so many times: you have to finish your food."

Baijing considers himself gentle and considerate. But in everyone else's eyes, he pries open the bloody mouth of a headless corpse and stuffs in pills, drags a man several times his size across the floor, and smiles eerily as he feeds players a heaping spoonful of writhing maggots...

The players tremble in fear: Help! This isn't the beginner-level instance we were promised!

Baijing eagerly awaits the day he gets promoted to full-time employee, but the notification he receives instead is an electronic voice:

"In light of your fear points and jaw-dropping points having gone through the roof, our company would like to sincerely invite you to join 'Party Till You're Dead' as a player-streamer."

Baijing fidgets with his fingers. "Do I get social insurance and a housing fund?"

System assistant: "That's a separate contract..."

And so, while the other players use every ounce of strength they have to stay alive, Baijing is already living a carefree life with social insurance and a housing fund (not really).

Only two things make Baijing happy each month: getting paid and waiting to get paid.

That is, until he comes across a man who's on his last legs and at least somewhat handsome.

System assistant: "Kill him, and your pay will double."

Baijing nods like a pecking chicken. "Sure, sure."

The man bites Baijing's neck. "Switch sides, and I'll give you six types of insurance and a housing fund."

Baijing: "Sure, sure."

System assistant: "What the hell?"

Now available: I'm a Merchant in a Horror World

Bai Yao is a merchant who works both sides of the law. Every penny he earns is paid for with his life. He believes that even a ghost blocking his way can't keep him from making money, until he's accidentally swept into a terrifying world where humans and ghosts coexist and comes face to face with the supernatural.

He lives by the principles that a person should never stop talking, that ghosts can't scare you as badly as poverty can, that if you can't con a person you should con a ghost, and that you should fleece both humans and ghosts. He aims to carve out a prosperous path for himself in the horror world!

So while the people around him hide in terror, Bai Yao pops heart pills and clutches his empty wallet, eagerly awaiting his customers' arrival.

A female ghost blocks the restroom at midnight. Bai Yao grabs his waistband. The ghost pushes the hair covering her face aside and says, shyly and hoarsely, "Do you have anything for a sore throat? I've been screaming so much to scare people lately, and now my throat hurts."

A wealthy family's infant spirit climbs onto his shoulder and breathes icy air on him. Bai Yao breaks out in goosebumps, but his mouth keeps going: "Want your mother to love you more? Big Brother's Good Child Handbook is on sale. How about you get down first?"

Deep in the mountains, he's locked inside a headless corpse's coffin. Bai Yao grips a cross and recites the Diamond Sutra in his heart, then says to the corpse pinned beneath him, "Looking for your head? Our Brain-Detecting Device provides precision searches. It'll find not just yours, but those of your ancestors going back eight generations."

Word is spreading among humans and ghosts about a crooked merchant with mixed reviews.

Bai Yao, the talk of the town, wakes up in a blood-red bridal chamber. As soon as he opens his eyes, he sees the groom, whose face is deathly pale. He spits out the silk cloth stuffed in his mouth and flashes a perfect professional smile: "Dear customer, would you like a perfect wedding night? Want to become an unbeatable legend? Our Rejuvenation Pills are on sale! One jar is 888 taels, or two for just 99. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime deal!"

The groom smiles. "Sure, my bride."

Bai Yao: Frozen... Did I just con myself?!
